I took his weapons away from him... ...both of them!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sin City: That Yellow Bastard (Hardcover)
Detective John Hartigan is only hours away from retirement but Nancy Callahan, age 11, is moments away from death. In the hands of a ruthless connected serial killer and rapist Nancy will suffer unmentionable ordeals. John Hartigan must raise his 38 cannon and ignor his failing health to save little Nancy, even at the expense of his dignity and his life.This cleverly written and exquisitely illustrated tale pulled from the dark gritty bounds of Frank Miller's Sin City series will rock you.John Hartigan is not your typical cop and his devotion to the protection of Nancy from the cruel menace that wishes to defile her spans eight years. Miller has created a superior character in Hartigan and molded a believable plot exploring the idiosyncratic mind of a killer and the devotion of an aging man whose body is no match for his adversary. Put away your preconceptions about the "comic book" medium and prepare to be flattened. In the tradition of "Pulp Fiction" and "Silence of the Lambs" "That Yellow Bastard" is praiseworthy celebration of human ability that is illustrated with maturity and candor. -Brian Franklin

Thrill a minute,
By pauljmuk (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sin City Volume 4: That Yellow Bastard (3rd Edition): That Yellow Bastard Bk. 4 (Sin City (Dark Horse)) (Paperback)
What can I say - brilliant.I chose to review this one and not the others as a) people who read the series will suspect review the first one only, and b) this is is my favourite of them all (personally) Buy all of these books, 1-7, they are all truly great stories. Some people have knocked the graphical style of these books - to me, they are one of the high points - they has a superb style all of their own. Millers dialogue, jokes, slang and story are all superb - great film noir, and add in his sound effects (SPAK! HEFF!) and he really has made this series unique Miller. Finally, I'm not a fan of comparisons with films - usually graphic novels are changed dramatically (often for the worse) in the movies. Sin City is different. I thought it was a cracking film and is incredibly faithful to the books (although in differing order). Therefore, for once I can say, if you liked the film you'll love the book, as opposed to if you hated the film dont be put off by the book. Cinematic, thrill a minute series.
4.0 out of 5 stars
great book but...,
This review is from: Sin City Volume 4: That Yellow Bastard (3rd Edition): That Yellow Bastard Bk. 4 (Sin City (Dark Horse)) (Paperback)
when i first got this graphic novel i was extremely excited as ive loved the others , but when i opened the first page all of the font and picture was blurred and this continued for about half the book , which made it hard to read and just put me down abit . BUT the story the drawings and everything about this book i loved , its my favourite one out of the sin city series, and i completely recommend it :)
